He said on August 1 at about 9 p.m., David Okonkwo of Apata area of Jos, reported to ‘A’ Division Police Station that the convict, in company of two others now at large, committed the offences by conspiring to use criminal force on him.

He alleged that the convict and his accomplices conspired to beat up their victim, stole N57,000 from his pocket and ran away. He said the convict was later arrested at a beer parlour.

The prosecution tendered the wallet of the complainant, his identity card and some money as evidence before the court, and urged the court to invoke Section 157 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CPC) because “the accused has pleaded guilty to the charges”.
